So as you can see, seven Manchester City players get into my Manchester dream-team with just four coming from Manchester United, despite the red side of Manchester running away with the league this year.

In the north London XI, I have gone with seven Arsenal players compared to the four from Tottenham. It was a tough decision not to include Moussa Dembele, but I believe Cazorla and Wilshere are overall better players.

The Everton/Liverpool XI was a lot harder to choose and I think that shows as there are 6 Liverpool players and five Everton, rather than seven and four like the other two derby sides. Distin was the only questionable pick in my opinion, but I chose him as he plays more often than Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel.

There will be many people who disagree with these outfits (especially if you support either one of these side's), but this is my personal opinion of the best derby XI's.
